Did you think Cung Le could KTFO Franklin? You probably picked Franklin to win that fight didnt you? Well as the old cliche goes; its MMA, anything can happen.

So you're justifying a 40 year old guy who's 3-2 in his last 5 fights and 2-1 in the UFC being in title discussion over the heads of about 5 or 6 other worthier candidates by saying "anything can happen"?

I said he was in the mix. I never said he was in title contention. Hes on a 2 fight win streak over 2 quality opponents with the biggest fight of his career a quick KOTN over a legend. Age has nothing to do with it. so what if hes 3-2 in his last 5 fights. Nate Diaz is also 3-2 in his last 5 fights and he is in a title shot now. Im not comparing Cung Le to prospects like Weidman or elite guys like Belfort or Bisping. All im saying is that he can be talked about when ur talking about some of the best in the middleweight division.

Patrick Cote is a quality opponent? And no, he cant be talked about with the best in the MW division. A fluky KO over Ace does not change that. Silva, Weidman, Bisping, Belfort, Belcher, Okami, Boetsch, Costa, Lombard, Palhares, and probably 10 other MW's destroy Le 10 out of 10 times.

It wasn't a fluke. He countered that punch perfectly. He even stated he saw that hole in Rich's game through footage. Not to mention he threw that punch three times before that.

Why would you put Leben, Palhares, Carmont, Ring, Fuduka and Lombard ahead of him when they are all coming off loses or haven't proven themselves yet? The win over Franklin makes Le up in the top 15 if you ask me.

Carmont, Ring, and Fukuda are all coming off wins.

And I put them there because I would pick all of them to beat Le. It wasn't really a ranking, just where I put Le in the division as far as guys I think he'd win or lose against
